Step Inside the Peanuts Universe: Snoopy’s World in Sha Tin
#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere Our visit to Snoopy’s World in Sha Tin was an utterly captivating and nostalgic immersion into the timeless charm of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts. Nestled on the third floor of the grand New Town Plaza, this outdoor playground, which debuted in 2000, holds the distinction of being the first Peanuts-themed attraction in Asia. While it is relatively compact, the park offers a uniquely enchanting experience, making it an ideal retreat for families with children or any aficionado of the iconic Peanuts characters.
The park features a traditional playground, alongside a stunningly large and intricately detailed model of the famous yellow school bus, where both children and adults alike can enter and explore, stepping into the heart of the Peanuts world. As you wander through the space, you are welcomed by an array of beloved characters—Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Schroeder, Woodstock, and the ever-adorable Peppermint Patty—each brought to life in vivid, larger-than-life form. The whimsical and child-friendly decorations, intertwined with these familiar faces, imbue the entire park with an infectious sense of joy and nostalgia, transforming the space into a picture-perfect playground where visitors can pause and capture delightful memories.
Despite its undeniable charm, Snoopy’s World shows the marks of time—some areas appear slightly weathered, reflecting the passage of over a decade since its last major renovation. This lends the park a sense of history, but it also serves as a reminder that this is not a high-budget, modernized theme park like Disneyland or Ocean Park. Rather, it offers a serene, intimate experience where visitors can slow down and revel in the simpler pleasures of life. The park exudes an authentic, old-school appeal that makes it a delightful haven for those seeking a peaceful respite from the bustling crowds of the city.
Located within the vast and vibrant New Town Plaza, an expansive mall teeming with shops and dining options, Snoopy’s World is conveniently accessible and offers the perfect balance of whimsy and convenience. While it may not boast the thrills of larger theme parks, it shines as a place of respite and joyful nostalgia. For those wandering through the area, it’s a gentle reminder of the magic of childhood and the enduring appeal of Peanuts.
